Our services

We provide expert guidance across a wide range of industries that operate in or near the marine environments. Our range of expertise varies from marine operations in the wind industry to project and risk management of port operations in complex and challenging regions. We help optimize safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability while ensuring smooth, uninterrupted operations.
Marine Coordination
Management and oversight of various activities and operations at sea. Ensuring smooth, efficient, and safe operations while coordinating between multiple stakeholders, including ships crew, port authorities, offshore platforms, regulatory bodies, and logistical teams. The timely scheduling and execution of marine operations, such as vessel movements, cargo loading and unloading, or offshore maintenance tasks while monitoring the safety protocols and ensuring compliance with international maritime laws.
Offshore Emergency Response Management
The coordination of actions and procedures taken to handle crises or incidents occurring at sea. Our primary goal is to establish an emergency response system to protect human life, the environment, and assets, and to return to normal operations as quickly and safely possible. We provide services from the planning phase to response and coordination of the emergency, to eventually evacuation and rescue. Environmental impact mitigation and post-incident review of the procedures and actions will make sure your offshore emergency response management is waterproof.
